_ PAGE EIGHT ° SA le You know it's just like picking up money when you buy goods at this great sale. Every suit, overcoat, hat, shirt, tie, or any- thing else you buy is worth every cent that the mark calls for-- and when you buy for 20 per cent. less you are simply picking up the money. HAVE YOU BEEN IN ? If not, come in, pick up a few dollars on a suit, overcoat or other outfitting. It's fair! It's square! It's a money saver! It's the clothing sale of the year. : / # gd 1 COME IN TO SEE Livingstons If Off Your Route, It Pays to Walk. ==!a first reading and to send a deputa- =| tion to Ottawa next Our prices 'in the face of steadily ad- vancing markets, are much below present mill cost, and our assortment represents the best English and Canadian makes.

For $25,000, or $30,000 at the outside . figure, Kingston could build a wharf this year that undef crdinary circumstances would cost cver $100,000, The timber from the old bridge and the stone which the Kingston |C onstruction Company offers for thé haul were lke a god- isend. "Ald. Wright stated that if his company tendered on remoxing the { old bridge it would do so¥fonly on the stipulation that the timber be i sold to the city of Kingston at a low . A y Engineer M<dClélland pre- sented a plan of the proposed wharf, which would extend out into the it harbor along the east line of' Clar- ence street, extended a distance of 350 feet. It would run east 285 Hoot, and take in the Martello tower. he Clarence street section would be Sixty feet and the outer section 100 On motion of Ald. Black, it was 'decided to ask the Council to take steps towards the building of the wharf, to give the necessary by-law Tuesday to ine terview Hon. Frank Carvell regard- ing the bridge timber and the Mini- r of 'Militia with regard to secuf- {ing a deed. of the water lots on which the wharf would be construct- ed. Ald. Wright brought un the gues tion of tree trimming. and also cut- ting out of a lange nuinber of trees throughout the city, He stated that the fuel question was a very serious one, and next fall and winter one hardly knew what fuel there would be. Kingston's streets had far too many trees, and he 'was of the opinion that many of them could #7] cut out. He advocated doing' this and storing the wood in the fair grounds or on a lot downtown. Wood was now worth $10 a cord; and next winter it might sell at §15 a cord. Kingston's trees could take care of the eity's fuel needs to a large extent. Ald, Wright advocated umak- ing a survey of the city to determine what trébs could be dispensed with. Ald. Black remarked that many trees on King street and Park avenue could well be cut down, and the city engineer was -of opinion that fifty per cent. of these on University should be removed. | Alds, Couper and Smith agreed { that Kingston had too many trees on (its streets and could spare many for fuel, « Ald, Simnions thought it was a shame that the 'tree trimmings should go to the trimmer, who in turn sold them to the garbage com- mittee for fuel for the inciherator at the rate of $8.50 4% cord. The city should store the trimmings for its own use and it would be money in pocket, * It was decided that the city em- gineer should make a survey of the trees that can be cut down and make A report to the board as soop as possible. 3 The Utilities Commission will be mers to convey all Himmings to the fair grounds. rs-- The Garbage Committee.

"a "Nothing Bat the Truth" Tonight From the Toronto Daily Star: "Ir- resistible" has heen applied to so many comedieg that it has become almost passe with even theatrical press agents, but the whole truth of the matter is that it's difficult to find another word or a better dne to say about "Nothing But the Truth," this week's offering at the Royal Alexand- ria Theatre. There is nothing quite like this clever farce with its up- rogriously fanny business,~and the supporting cast deserves nothing but the warmest praise. "Well balanced,' capable," and all other adjectiv usually applied to good campan are very suitable. The business af- fairs of the firm 6f E. M.
